Submariner 16610 on Rubber Strap

I just picked up this "Oyster/President style" strap for my Sub. It's really comfortable for daily wear, and saves the bracelet from scratches. (Actually just an excuse to try out my new homemade light box setup.)

Cool. I have the exact same combo. I found it really comfortable and a nice look. I have gone back to the NATO for now, but may well change back soon.

STUNNER!!! fantastic looking strap! it really holds the integrity of the case up well. Though I like the NATO strap it appeared to be missing something to me. apparently, that was it! congrats. Nice photo as well

Never found rubber straps comfortable. That looks good and it's a nice pic. Plus it's always reversible.

I bought it from a website called The Watch Barn. I also picked up a NATO at the same time, but they sent the wrong color so I'm hesitant to give them a glowing recommendation. I emailed them 5 days ago and haven't heard back.

Just to add some more angles, here are a couple of pics of mine, and a comparison to the black NATO it is currently sitting on. Hope I am not hijacking the thread!

Holy smoke! Those pictures look like they could have been taken of my watch, in my light box, with my blue background! Glad to see we have the same fine taste.

it looks exactly like my seiko divers watch. that's why i keep my submariner with a stainless bracelet. got to admit with jeans and plain t shirt the submariner with a rubber strap is pretty amazing.
